Bar Mitzvah TallitA tallit (often called
“tallis”) is one of the most popular traditional Judaica gifts for a boy
turning 13 and reaching the age of Bar Mitzvah.
Now, there’s a way to add even more meaning to the gift by giving a
tallit that has been hand woven by an artisan living in a small community in
southern Israel. Inspired by techniques
learned in the holy city of Tzfat (Safed), our tallitot are hand-woven by
professional weavers using the finest materials from the Land of Israel. With a wide range of colors to choose from,
you will find designs that are modern and traditional, reflecting both taste
and tradition in a garment that is suffused with spirituality and is certain to
elevate and inspire any occasion. If you
don’t see the colors that you prefer, please contact us and we are happy to
create a custom order.The tallit is an
ancient symbol of Jewish devotion, and our goal is to restore the quality and
authenticity of this symbol and make our legendary craftsmanship av…

בס"ד Bar Mitzvah Tallit Like father, like
son. Bar Mitzvah is a time when a Jewish
boy takes his place at the front of the congregation – an adult at last, at
least in the eyes of Jewish law. So what
better gift for the occasion than a Tallit, the traditional garment he’ll use
to wrap himself up in at the long-awaited moment when he’s called up to the Torah? Along with tefillin
and a kippah, a handmade Tallit makes a terrific present either on its own or in a gift set, offering just the right traditional touch for this important occasion. While those of
Ashkenazi (European) descent do not wear a Tallit for regular prayer services
until they are married, most Jewish boys of Sepharadi (Mizrachim,
“Middle-Eastern”) descent wear the Tallit every single weekday after they
become Bar Mitzvah. Even Ashkenazim,
however, wear the Tallit whenever they are called to the Torah, whether married
or not. Some simply borrow one until
they are married, but with his own very Tallit, the Bar Mitzva…

בס"ד The wedding Tallit – a
special Jewish touch For North American
Jews, it can come as a surprise to visit a synagogue in Israel and see kids running
around wearing a tallit. In Mizrachi
(sometimes called Sephardi) synagogues, it’s customary to wear a tallit from
the age of bar mitzvah. Most Ashkenazi (European)
Jews do things a little differently: except when they’re called to the Torah
for an aliyah, men don’t wear a tallit until after marriage, making a tallit
one of the most meaningful gifts a groom can receive. The tallit is a traditional
gift from the bride or her family, but naturally, it has to be chosen with his
tastes in mind: what size does he
prefer?; is he looking for pure black and white, or would he be more
comfortable in something a little more nuanced?
Don’t forget the atarah, either, the “crown” that decorates one side of
the tallit to indicate which way is up and add weight so it doesn’t slip off
his shoulders. Some carry a simple
blessing, while others ar…
